Chapter 24

NASH

I TOSSED and turned all night, kicking my own ass for not growing a pair and kissing Mia. She deserved better, though. All I thought about when I looked into her big eyes was that I'd spent the whole day shooting a sex scene with the actress playing my love interest. Belle and I had been friends for years and doing scenes like this wasn't anything special. To us it had been like rolling around with our sibling, a whole lot of awkward. After doing that all day, having Belle's hands on me, I didn't want to disrespect Mia like that. She didn't understand, and it made me feel like a dick.

The sun had just peeked through my curtains, and if Mia didn't get Ryder's closed all the way, he'd be up shortly. The kid was my world, but he needed to learn to sleep in already. As if he knew I was thinking about him, Ryder started fussing. It wasn't a full-on cry, yet, but it wouldn't take long if I let it go.
